Very nice, cozy hotel. Very very short walk to the beach. The people were nice, rooms were nice and the added extras of the beach supplies was a bonus. Definitely don’t overlook this place if you’re in the area!

The good - 2 blocks from beach. Small, clean room. The ehh - car noise most of the time and noise from other guests in the area was annoying. Because of that, I won’t be staying here again.
